Deuteronomy 23:14 warns the Israelite army to maintain a sanitation system in the war camp so that Yahweh, who walks in the midst of the camp, will not find any “thing of nakedness.”
The very same phrase appears in Deuteronomy 24:1, but there is describes a “thing of nakedness” that a husband finds in his wife, and provides a rationale for divorce.
The Israelite army is the corporate fighting bride of Yahweh, and their success depends on their Husband’s presence in their midst. They are warned not to do anything that would lead their Husband to sue for divorce.
